VERDICT: When I first know about Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Lotion on television, I was quite mystified. I mean, seriously? 1 sold every 4 seconds in Japan?

And finally, I couldn't stand the 'suspense' any longer. I hunted down Hada Labo's Facebook page and managed to get my hands on a sample and I am utterly convinced! But before I go on about how good it is, let's take a little look at what Hada Labo (a.k.a the Hype) is about.

Hada Labo stands for the lifestyle philosophy of “PERFECT x SIMPLE” a skincare range that brings beauty back to the basics – perfect, simple and confident.

To fulfill the commitment of healthy and perfect skin, Hada Labo emphasizes simplicity in its skin care process, removing all the unnecessary additives, colorant, fragrance and mineral oil that will burden the skin. Only the finest, purest and highly effective ingredients that are beneficial to the skin are retained to ensure maximum effectiveness. Only the best for your skin and nothing else…..

Super Hyaluronic Acid forms a smooth, moisture locking shield to replenish and retain essential moisture of the skin. Super Hyaluronic Acid has twice the moisture retention capacity of Hyaluronic Acid (1gm of Hyaluronic Acid is able to hold up to 6 liters of water). It also has the ability to mimic skin’s natural moisturizing ability to enhance water retention of the stratum corneum. Skin stays lastingly hydrated and feels smoother, suppler and more radiant.

I still remembered how the girl in the commercial (not the same one I posted above, although I managed to find a similar one in Cantonese instead, so I picked the English one. Meh..) 'applied' the Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Lotion on her face and I did exactly the same. When I first tear open the satchet, it seemed somewhat regular, nothing special. But I was so damn wrong at that presumption!!

Once applied and pat all over my face, it was mochi-mochi heaven for me. For so long, women kind of ignored the little fact that we need to constantly moisture our skin, whether we have oily skin, dry skin, combination skin or the likes. In fact, even for some of us who have oily skin, we shouldn't even skip moisturising in the first place. Why?

Some people will tell you that if you have oily skin, you must dry it out and not moisturize, but that's not really true. If your skin is oily, it means that when your oil glands kick into gear they work overtime so if you keep drying out your skin, it triggers your oil glands to go to work and they produce to much oil, again and again. Therefore, it's best to keep your skin clean but well hydrated to keep your oil glands quiet.

When first applied on my face, it feels 'sticky', however, that sticky feeling is soon replaced by the feeling of effectiveness, gentle, hydrating and it doesn't leave any sticky nor oily residue despite hours after application. (Felt tempted to use it again just to feel that mochi-mochi sensation once more.) In fact, after trying so much different moisturisers to the point that my face is going to belch and puke at me, Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Lotion is the best so far.

It doesn't cost a bomb but yet it still does it's job, which is to hydrate! And personally, I have oily skin and although it seems that I should skip moisturising my face so as not to look like a bi-pedal sebum bomb-in-progress, this little wonderful product just doesn't over-moisturise at all. Nope! It just feels just right on my skin, and my skin for the very first time, is 'drinking' in moisture once again.

If you are someone with acne problems, do not give Hada Labo a miss at all. Those pesky red acne dots on my chin actually subsided 2 weeks after I bought my retail version at Watson's. Initially, those acne spots were looking so much angrier than the phenomenally famous Angry Birds, but 2 weeks of letting my skin drink in Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Lotion, those same red angry acne spots have calmed down. Now, just to carry on using to make them go far far away from my chin.

About Riih

Hello. My name is Riih Rion Pu Niao and I am a female blogger. I blog mainly about my personal opinions on beauty products, links to get free samples (in Singapore), monthly beauty topic(s) and other goodies related to beauty topics on this blog. What started out as curiosity back in April 2007 soon turned into serious blogging-mania for me.

Note that all photos featured in this blog are concentrated on the products itself, and I personally do not believe in trying to wrestle attention away from the products by constantly squeezing my mugshot in it. Photos are mostly and currently taken with a Canon Ixus 170 & Samsung Galaxy S7 and edited with Paint.Net & Giphy.

You can read more about me and this blog by exploring the links above.

For those of you who are unable to comment on Blogger, you can still make comments on my Google+ page instead :D
